If you are a CP Rail fan, or
even if you aren’t, you know about that railway’s famous CP Rail SD40-2F Red
Barns.
But did you know about the Blue
Barns?
Yes, indeed, that’s the name
given to these unique units now that they have been purchased and repainted by
the Central Maine & Quebec Railway.
The shortline railway, which was
formed in 2014, operates in the New England states of Maine, New Hampshire and in
the Canadian province of Quebec.
The CM&Q bought ten of the former
CP Rail Red Barns in 2015 (numbers 9004, 9010, 9011, 9014, 9017 and 9020-24).
And now they sport the great new liveries!
And here’s good news for HO
scale modelers: Lee English tells me that the handsome units will be made by
Bowser, including in the BAR heritage scheme.
As for other news from Bowser,
Lee says that the second batch of SD40-2 samples are due this week. A new body
sample for the SD49-2F is also due anytime.

Hi, sorry this is off topic. I'm trying contact Cameron Foodikoff. He started making the magnetic air hoses a few years ago. I think may have come up with some pieces to convert standard Kadee couplers to shelf couplers. I'm interested in that. Any help would be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Todd
Pacific Western Rail Systems has assumed production and sales of the self-coupling air hose couplers. See http://cprailmmsub.blogspot.ca/2013/09/update-on-automatic-self-coupling-air.html
